Grass happily grows on soil or sand layers. In a desert the scarity of such things appears to apply only to the original ground surface. As soon as you dig down into the soil layer you get a square that is treated as being as fertile as an underground tile. If it's exposed to the surface (above ground) then it will grow grass, if underground then it grows moss. It's a soil square and not a sandy desert square, so will all grow.

Grass is growing in vertical bands, 8 tiles large on the surface, but it's growing continuously in the moat i built. It's weird.
Not really.  The basalt in the moat is wet... wet stone is muddy... things grow in mud or soil.

Tada.

Underground grass is only growable on mud or soil. Aboveground grass will grow pretty much anywhere aboveground with soil.
