Again the really important thread with this soil question is decomposing organic matter and less with the exact ph.
If some problem appears it could be from a build up of some particular mineral to a toxic level or the lack of something specific which can only be determined by a soil test.
The important area for Jack to test is 6" build up area.

The native soil at the nursery is a sandy type loam with a layer of decomposed fir, hemlock, cedar and Oregon Big Leaf Maple leaves, about 6" deep. If rototilled in together makes a great planting mix. We really have not checked for PH, but the hostas seem happy in it.
