If what I've read is correct, celery would be a prime candidate for
growing in this way. Apparently wild celery produces a natural
pesticide that makes the stuff taste truly horrid (but then, that's
my opinion of celery anyway), and the only difference between wild
and domestic celery is that the latter is very carefully protected
from bugs. >>
also, things grown hydroponically grow much faster, healthier, and with
bigger, tastier fruit, and without pesticides (plus there are a lot of natural
pesticides).
