Based on the type of the parent material, do you expect your soil to be acidic, neutral or basic?PACOLET SERIESThe Pacolet series consists of very deep, well drained, moderately permeable soils that formed in residuum weathered mostly from felsic igneous and metamorphic rocks of the Piedmont uplands. Slopes commonly are 15 to 25 percent but range from 2 to 60 percent.TAXONOMIC CLASS: Fine, kaolinitic, thermic Typic KanhapludultsGroup of answer choicesacidicI don't know.basicneutral
