This is a pretty convincing statement, I would just love to see proof, and also I am pretty sure it is not wise to grow vegetables around ammunition, I think any botanist / florist would know this.

I think you've forgotten to ask yourself a key question here.

The question is: "Why is a supply depot unable to lift off from the ground?"

Now I know what you're thinking, surely with all those fans on it, it could simply helicopter over and provide cheap, effective scouting. This seems very reasonable. But, maybe those fans just aren't powerful enough, or SCVs complained about having to walk halfway across the map to grab themselves a snack and a juicebox out of their locker. But I think there's another reason, one that has been gaining a lot of ground in recent years, especially with the remaster.

Like an iceberg, a supply depot hides most of it behind the surface, providing a full assortment of facilities for the comfort and well being of its occupants. This is clearly demonstrated in the handy cross-section below.

Now with all these facilities, you might well ask "but these could support a massive number of SCVs, why only 8 per depot". SCVs are well known for liking their personal space. There's a reason they're in those suits, and it has nothing to do with collecting poisonous gas from a vent.
