Claim 15:
16. A method for growing plants using a grow system having a plurality of fluidically connected modular grow boxes, wherein each modular grow box includes a first modular element and a second modular element, the method comprising:
assembling the plurality of modular grow boxes in a first configuration for the first growth phase, wherein assembling the modular grow boxes in the first configuration includes, for each modular grow box:
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; and

after the first growth phase, assembling the plurality of modular grow boxes in a second configuration for the second growth phase, wherein assembling the modular grow boxes in the second configuration includes, for each modular grow box:
placing the growth material on a second surface of the second modular element that is opposite the first surface, and
placing the first modular element under the second modular element to form a reservoir configured to retain water,
wherein, at least during the second phase, the plurality of modular grow boxes are fluidly connected; and

at least during the second phase, flowing water between the plurality of modular grow boxes.
