[R] dual y-axis for ggplot

Sorry let me clarify.
If I modify the line
p <- p + geom_line(aes(y = air_temp, colour = "Temperature"))
by
p <- p + geom_line(aes(y = air_temp, colour = "Temperature", linetype
="Temperature"))
and
p <- p + geom_line(aes(y = rel_hum/5, colour = "Humidity"))
by
p <- p + geom_line(aes(y = rel_hum/5, colour = "Humidity",
linetype="Humidity"))
and
p <- p + scale_linetype_manual(values = c("twodash", "solid")),
I will have two lines with different color and different line type,
but I will have two legends (one with blue/red,solid, the other with two
dash/solid, black ).
How can I have only one legend with blue/two dash and red/solid?
