Suggestions for correcting soil that has too much calcium?

I also added gypsum and lime in addition to oyster shell and crustacean shell meal. I way overdid the calcium. But I made it worse with my soil being acidic from too much liquid fish ferts. I've balanced my soil better by adding ewc, peat, and some conpost. Percentage wise I have less calcium than I did and things are much better with this round of plants.

Gypsum can easily leach K from the soil as well. Ewc and compost are usually good sources of K. I agree with everyone that recommended a soil test to fine tune your ratios of nutrients.
