This chart shows the relationship between different elements and how they effect each other so you can see why adding calcium and magnesium at the same time can be a waste of money unless you are lacking in both in which case you should just throw your soil out and start again. Calcium and Magnesium should together make up around 80% of the total amount of minerals in your soil and be in a ratio of between 4:1-6:1 Cal:Mag

The other key ratios are Mag: Potassium,Phosphorus:Sulfur,Phosphorus:Zinc,Phosphorous:Sodium and Iron:Manganese but the Cal:Mag ratio is by far the most important. Having a balanced

You don’t have to understand all of it just need to understand that when you add an input it will have an effect on other elements either good or bad so if you’ve got a Mag deficiency for instance adding any more Cal is just making it worse.
You don’t need to spend a lot of money on a mix just don’t go overboard on any 1 input and have plenty of composted organic matter which will buffer against any small out of balances
