Movie: The Maritan
Man stranded on Mars, grows potato in a mixture of his own poop and martian soil. Mmmm, poop potato. Of course it is fiction, but stimulated a fun conversation. I imagine there is much less light on Mars. So started to wonder.
In a KY winter, I can pull off cold crops in mini sunken green houses. Not much to brag about. Small little hot boxes. Only heat is sun and compost under the soil. Have not tried to grow anything but cold drops that way.
Now wondering about traditional summer crops. Would most flat not produce with so little light or do you think they would produce but much slower? I guess what I am asking is do you think it is useless or just low production?
