Greenhouse concrete base

Hi, I have inherited a greenhouse from when we moved to our house.
It sits on a concrete base with a 1 brick border and 2x4 timber inbetween the brick and aluminum greenhouse frame.
It has no drainage, I just wanted some advice what I can do. We are very much beginners to greenhouses and so not sure what options we have or if I need to do anything on top of the concrete as the water may not be excessive and maybe dry itself.
Thank you in advance for any help given.

Hi Stephen.So long as you water your pots,growbags & suchlike until you see leakage appear,you
should have no problem.In hot weather you could use saucers under pots to catch excess water & stop
pots from drying out too quickly.However,when it's hot,it will pay to dampen the concrete base with
with a watering can.This moistens the air around plants to help to prevent red spider mites,a nasty pest
which loves hot dry air.
Thank you for your reply Peter.
That's great will use your advice.
Best
Stephen
