Not sure on this, but try your local garden centre. I think they'd sell soil testing kits, to see if the acidity of the soil is suitable for a particular plant.

First of all litmus paper would be no good. It is blue in alkaine conditions and red in acidic - it does not tell you the pH.

Secondly, assuming you could get pH paper, how would you intend on using it?

It's to test saliva and/or urine for acidity balance.
