[Towertalk] Water in Universal Base Stubs

[lsica@attbi.com]

  I have a Universal Tower, and as according to 
manufacturer's instructions I left the top of the base 
stubs open so water could flow out of the tower sections 
into the ground. Problem is is that my soil is a hard 
sand/clay mix that doesn't drain well, and all the water 
winds up doing is sitting in there until it evaporates 
(or actually does seep out after a long period of time). 

  What have others done about this? Just let it sit like 
that, or plug up the base stubs? And if the thing to do 
is plug them up, what should I use to do that, and how 
do I get the standing water out of a hole 5' deep with 
such a small diameter?

Thanks to all.
