I have planted a 4x4 dirt patch in the desert (where my house is) hoping to reproduce some birch trees since they are a rare tree in my world. Well I've planted the sapling, used bonemeal on it and it grew as normal. But then the grass wouldn't grow back. I've waited 5 ingame days (yes the area is quite well lit) and it is not growing. I've tried bonemeal as well. I am going to plan to create a sheep pen also, but I don't know how it would work since the grass is not growing in order for them to grow wool. Can someone help me regrow my grass?
Grass spreads from block to block, so you need to have your patch of dirt in direct contact with grass blocks for grass to grow. So, if the area is enclosed by, say, a brick walkway, the grass from the other side of the walkway can't "jump over" the walkway to start grass growing on an isolated dirt patch. What you need to do is lay a line of dirt blocks from a grassy area to the area where you want the grass to regrow. It will work even if your line is 1-block wide; but it will work faster if you make your line two or more blocks wide.
For grass to grow onto a block of dirt... A grass block must be attached to it... use.. Silk Touch on a grass block and place it there. Then it will spread

Ninja'd - I was just going to come back and add that to my post.
Without silk touch - create a line of dirt between the two areas (and you can remove the connecting blocks once the grass has grown). With silk touch, just mine a grass block as a grass block and plant it in the center of your dirt area.
