...always seems to come out the same: wicked, chesty baritone schemes to murder or domineer others as air-head, goldilocks daughter falls in love with dim-wit tenor. Serfs Up!'s Monty-Python-and-the-Holy-Grail setting--with dozens of "thou's" thrown in--provides plenty of comic soil for puns to take root in; but it doesn't materially affect the stock Pudding plot--even if there is a peasant revolution, nasal lords and ladies, smelly peasants, and a trio of disco-dancing suits of armor...

But plant nutrition specialists have advanced the skill so that large scale commerical operations are now economical. And drug dealers are taking advantage of its use. Hydroponics originated as a purely scientific endeavor when botanists set out to study the needs for survival of different plants. Scientists have now identified the 17 nutrients that must be added to drinking water to produce high yields for plants grown hydroponically. Supplied as soluble salts, these nutrients dissolve in the water...
