heavy duty Martha

I was looking for a Martha the other day and couldn't find one, any ideas? The K-mart near me didn't have anything close.
I did find a hanging storage unit made from a tarp like material. It has filtered vents, a walk in door with zipper and is see through. It's approx. 4x2x6 ft. and is designed to hang from the rafters while the bottom sits on the ground.
It's big enough to make a very small clean room and holds two large shelves.
There is a floor in it also which may solve some of the water on the floor issues from Martha's

personally i dont see why people use the martha closet, i find a 4 tier mini greenhouse to be perfect, it already has shelves built in and sometimes a base with wheels, loads of different sizes are usually avainable in hardware stores and such. this site is a good example of one. they sell them all over the internet. http://www.godfrey-diy.co.uk/cloches-grow-houses/4-tier-mini-greenhouse/item43012210.html

I used a regular martha before and compared to the 4-tier greenhouse I have now it sucked a$$. The greenhouse racks are much sturdier. I still refer to it as a "martha", because the concept is the same. The greenhouse was like 5$ cheaper, too.

Thx
One of the things I did like about this is the floor, just to contain the water, and your right there are some nice "mini" greenhouses out there.
some would even fit inside a second bed room... go figure.

I just set up two of the mini-greenies in my closet. I solved the problem of the standing water in the bottom by putting a huge sheet of plastic drop cloth ( wal-mart 2 bucks) Folded up in a large square and broke out the silver magic tape. And resting on top of the plastic I took one of my old mono tub lids flipped it upside down and put a 1/4 of perlite in the bottom. God I hate that crap but it works. You could also use a washing machine catch pan, a large underbed storage box, hell a trash bag on the bottom would work with enough 100mph tape. I do like that hanging house though. But I think it would be MUCH better suited to our mushies best friends , Mr. hydro. I could work wonders with one of those, hell put one of the mini greenhouses inside of the hanging closet and that would take down the smell and help with the heat being defused.

Could you make a large drip pan with 4 tubes of PVC fastened to make a square support frame, and a large trashbag draped over it and taped to make the pan sides and bottom?

You could also just fill the drip pan full of perlite to redistribute the moisture back up into the greenhouse saving emptying and other nonsense.

I like the perlite idea and some hydrogen peroxide could help it say clean for a longer period but at some point it has to be emptied.

Up date on this find. Along with some pics.





Humidity has been kept at 95 to 100%, simple room temp.
Excess water is collected both in a jar at the bottom of PVC through a built in drain and by the bottom lined with the, "Sham-Wow" product. "As seen on TV".
The humidifier is a take on Agar's design, 20 gal trash can, squirrel cage fan, 2 bubble stones w/pump, and 2 ultrasonic foggers inside.
Timers set for foggers to go off every 8 hr. for an hour and 1//2 to help the casings dry out some. The fan is running pretty much all the time.
Any thoughts would be welcome.
GL.

No not K-mart. Started looking for a Martha some time ago and found these at some off market pottery barn, but if you look at the first pics an enlarge you can see the maker and model number and stuff.
Cost: The pods run 24-25 bucks PVC is PVC fan $25 Misters large and small $25-30 Pump and Stones $20 Garbage can $20 I used Plumbers putty for the joints so I could tear it down and move if need be.
Forgot, the shelve inside are from Home depot and were Pricey at $40 each
