Yes there is Linda but only for ph , that's not a lot of help really as soil PH is not static and soil has a big buffering capacity , usually. Basically, if you have a sandy soil you have very little available nutrient, if it's gravelly/clay it will hold nutrient a little better but probably doesn't have much. if you have a dark loam (plant chocolate) alluvial soil, your lucky but you still have to keep levels up. Not many garden plants die from over watering and even less from the over feeding, but there's plenty of dead and dying from lack. It's best to just get to know your own soil, space, it's not a lab out there, there's more variables than you can point a stick at :-)
