Hi everyone
There was a fountain in the garden when we moved in which we took apart as the water was continually getting stagnant and we didn't really know anything about maintenance or how to keep it clean. I thought we could just plant something nice in the concrete container and that would be it. I've now discovered that nothing will survive in there as there's no drainage and it's now totally flooded - I just about managed to salvage the little palm tree I'd planted. Can anyone suggest what I can do next? It's an eyesore as it is - is my best bet to try and get someone in to drill some holes in the base of the concrete so I can plant something? Or try and put in a new fountain? Maybe there was a problem with the old fountain pump which was why the water was full of algae and green. Thanks in advance to anyone who can offer any advice.
