Claim 10:
11. A method for growing plants using a modular grow box having a first modular element and a second modular element, the method comprising:
assembling the modular grow box in a first configuration for a first growth phase, wherein assembling the modular grow box in the first configuration includes:
placing a growth material with one or more seeds on a first surface of the second modular element, and
placing the first modular element over the second modular element to form a chamber sheltering the one or more seeds from an environment external to the modular grow box; and

after the first growth phase, assembling the modular grow box in a second configuration for a second growth phase, wherein assembling the modular grow box in the second configuration includes:
rotating the second modular element by about 180 degrees about its horizontal axis and moving the growth material to a second surface of the second modular element that is opposite the first surface,
rotating the first modular element by about 180 degrees about its horizontal axis to form a reservoir configured to retain water, and
positing the second modular element above the first modular element,
wherein, in the second configuration, the growth material is exposed to the environment external to the modular grow box.
