There is no microbial life in the soil on Mars. NOTHING will grow as it is currently.

[Mr. K]

Yes there is and WE put it there

The Mars rover’s were probably NOT 100% microbe free.

[T-Bone Texan]

I am sure that if we “science the shit out of it” we can grow taters there.

That reference was just too easy.

Matt Damon, go to hell!

There is no microbial life in some places in the Atacama Desert either.

Erie and beautiful place. You stop and get out of the car and stand there and very shortly the silence makes your ears hurt as they strain to hear something.

Did you not see “The Martian”??

Matt Damon grows potatoes in his own s—t!!

Aside the fact that it’s a fictional movie, if there is a way for such a fertilzer to be used in the soil, it could be possible, but only if the Martian atmosphere has enough CO2 in it’s atmosphere to feed the plants, and adequate temperatures.

Then again... there’s also that water thing....
