The Hab

In order to stay alive, Mark shovelled in Martian dirt into The Hab, mixed it with human waste and, co-ordinate to the book, a small-scale sample of globe soil so that the world leaner and nutrients that soil contains could multiply. He burned rocket fuel using Martinez' wooden crucifix/cross in order to create water and then grew some potatoes.

The reason he had admission to potatoes in space was considering the Ares III crew would have been on Mars during Thanksgiving and NASA psychologists thought it would be proficient for them if they could accept food other then the freeze dried space nutrient, so NASA sent them to infinite with some potatoes which thankfully had buds/eyes and were expert seed potatoes and then Watney was able to be planted to abound more.

Every bit Watney was the offset person to grow anything on Mars, he also technically colonised Mars and was the best Botanist on the entire planet. Because of Watney's beloved/hate relationship with potatoes and his proud status of 'Botanist' real life person Chris Martine named a new type of bush love apple subsequently him, the Solanum Watneyi.

When Airlock one breached, causing a gaping hole in The Hab, the potatoes were freeze dried and the bacteria in the soil assumed dead. Because of this Marker was unable to abound whatsoever more potatoes and could only consume the ones he all the same had with him.

He after discovered that the bacteria hadn't died, but instead gone into hibernation the way bacteria does on earth when information technology's common cold. This wouldn't have fabricated whatever difference to Mark'due south continued survival as the potatoes themselves were unable to reproduce.
