What's the typical soil PH around Macon/Wilkinson County?

Rather than guess why don't you just collect soil samples on your patch of dirt and have them analyzed? That way you'll know exactly what you need.

You could buy a analyzer also, not really expensive,,,, probably not as accurate as to send a sample though,

Both counties are near the fall line and have highly erratic soil types. I lived and worked (forestry) in Macon County and know that it goes from deep sands to montmorillinitic clays (slick grey "gumbo" clay) to more typical red clay found in the Piedmont. There is no typical soil type in the area immediately south of the fall line. Look at a statewide soil map and you'll see what I mean.

You'll have to test it......
