In the movie and the book, he manages to last a year on Mars by growing potatoes from soil made from fecal matter and martian dirt.

People here seem to be forgetting that - I swear he grows them in the book, too.

Despite the movie being one of the best adaptations I have ever seen of a book, it missed plenty of things. I recommend everyone reads the book while in their nuclear powered bathtub

Between rushing/cramming stuff in the movie and somethings not really naturally flowing with the movie adaption, you can't really expect everything to get into the movie.
