A lot of native plants don’t require good soil. In fact, the success of some invasives is due to the fact that they can take advantage of enriched soil better than natives. Butterfly Milkweed and China Berry thrive in crap soil and have trouble competing on good soil. If you are going native your biggest challenge is going to be keeping out invasives like Japanese Honeysuckle and Multiflora Rose. I did an annual hunt for them on my old property, and after about 10 years pretty much wiped them out. This place is so overrun I’ll be fighting them as long as I live.
Good thing you don't have Kudzu.
