I am no expert but I think your focusing on the wrong thing. Water
pooling next to your house/basement walls is not a good thing for
reasons beyond gardening. In another post you mentioned that heavy
rains caused a temporary leak into the basement? These things do not
get better with time.

I would take care of the house/water issue first. Garden part should
come later. Temporarily, line up a few well drained pots/containers.
