Martha setup without humidifier/cool mist?

Is it possible to run a Martha greenhouse FC without the use of a humidifier and a cool mist?
I was thinking that I could put big plastic trays on the bottom and/or top tray for humidity; but I get confused to what to do with air exchange, CO2 build-up, etc.. maybe holes or whatnot. This is where I'm confused.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.

Unless you really have nothing better to do than open up your martha several times a day and manually mist with a spray bottle, i wouldn't recommend it. Spring for a coolmist and timer, save yourself from the carpal tunnel...

No amount of misting could properly humidify a martha...
Some giant tubs of perlite on the bottom filled with water MAY percolate enough moisture into the area, but I don't see this working very well.
Cool mists are easy to find at most grocery stores or Walgreen's but make sure you get the Impeller type. Thats the kind with the reservoir underneath a circular thing that sucks it up through a fan. Vick's makes a great one that says "great for the nursery" on the front too, hehe.
If you are worried about making connections to the martha outta the cool mist, you can always just set the cool mist inside the terrarium and run it from there. However, spore dropping + excessive moisture can dirty up and possibly cause more malfunctioning to an already cheap unit. If you do use this method, make sure to fan 5-6 times a day for FAE. That's the advantage to pumping it in from the outside, constant air exchange.
With some hot glue and some basic plumbing connections from the hardware store you can easily tube the cool mist into the martha.
Hope ya figure somethin out that works!

Thanks for the helpful post SDP.. I drew up a quick diagram on my idea, but I'm not so sure.
Don't really know about that.. but that's somewhat my idea. The greenhouse doesn't exactly have a bottom, the clear sheet just ends about 5 inches from the ground. Thing is I don't know where the CO2 would build up exactly.. maybe put in a few wholes or some shit. I can fan as well if needed? Oh well. I am sure that I will just do a rubbermaid clear box with perlite and holes at the bottom. But I remembered I had a greenhouse from before and decided to set it up.. just need it for my massive farm
