Pine forest duff and related soil are likely acidic. Aluminum could be a
good choice.
One source for general soil acidity may be the USDA Soil Survey for your
area, if one has been completed. Ag areas are more likely to have soil
surveys.
Some soil surveys and soil survey data are on line: http://soils.usda.gov/
and then http://websoilsurvey.nrcs.usda.gov/app/ .
