Get a big sheet of clear plastic. Suspend it by the corners and toss a rock
in the center. Wet the ground under it and put a bowl under the low spot
benath the rock. That's all there is to it. You need to refine it to your
own needs and cicumstances, and you probably need to put a valid "ground".
You could for example build a large plexiglas box and cover the bottom with
fiberglass insulation. Soak the insulation, and cover the whole thing with
the plastic sheet. Or maybe you could use a kiddie pool. Get creative.
