1 Tablespoon of Epsom Salts
Will 4 Tablespoons in a 5 gallon container a month or so before planting be sufficient to amend the media? Considering additional ferts like MG Tomato Fertilizer when planting in late April.

You need to find out how much available Ca come s from those eggshells. You also should not need that S, MgSO4 is Magnesium Sulfate (Epsom salts). That's a hard one to call, I have found that the home gardener mix successes comes from tinkering with them season to season and keeping track of amounts, ratios, and application frequency.
