Omaha Soil Analysis

Got my first ever soil analysis done on my patch. I'm not quite sure how
to read this, although after comparing it to other growers. I think my
soil is a fair amount out of whack. Before the results, let me tell you
about how I got the soil to where it is now. This patch is in my
backyard which was sod on top of clay. This particular patch is about
600 sq ft. I tilled the sod into the clay and brought in 12 yards of
composted manure. I added 6 yards of the manure and then tilled it in,
and then added the other 6 yards and tilled it in. I have been tilling
in coffee grounds once a month that I have been picking up from
Starbucks every day. I have also tilled in  60lbs of gypsum and about
15-20lbs of 28-5-6 granular fertilizer.
 
Okay, given that, here's my soil sample, analyzed on 12/12/03. Any
thoughts or recommendations are greatly appreciated.
 
Thanks!
