Tabels should exist for native pioneer plants that come on soils with different pH-levels for your country (depending on the region, there will be different species, so there's no uniform table). For central europe, you could look into the book "Handboek ecologisch tuinieren by Herman van Boxem".

For the DIY testkits, you can use a test kit that tests soil for pH, N, P and K. The tetra-test for pH you can find at fish tank/aquarium shops is also accurate. pH-teststrips and column/rod-shaped pH testers have respectively bad and moderate accuracy.
