Hi Guys .I got a PH test kit and in certain areas of my garden the reading is as low as 3 .Then 6 to 7 in other sections .Will anything grow at 3 PH .Is it worth sowning anything in those sections .The garden was dug and fertilised evenly. Thanks in advance

Fertilize with lime to lower the acidity(increase the pH a bit), and then things that like high acidity(low pH) should do great! I wouldn't give up on the area. The low pH could be due to good drainage in that area, so pick plants that like water. Mint could do well IMO.
