Right now I'm doing my first big personal project of a sort of artificial forest biome underneath the ground in my cavern systems. The biome is 60 tiles long, 40 tiles wide, and I believe 20-30 tiles below sea level. My only problem so far would be trying to get grass down into the biome. Right now it's being built from top to bottom and I'm trying to drag the grass down in tile by tile and just having it spread like that, but if there's a more effective way I'd love to know.
Also, I'm pretty sure that the more light there is, the faster the grass grows, so you should put some torches next to the grass/dirt.

I dug a 4x4 shaft down from the surface. I covered it with glass and built a dirt staircase that spiraled down inside the shaft. Took a couple of in game days for it to grow at the bottom.
I show it in a couple of the videos in my series. Check the link in my signature for episodes 7-9.

Follow the guide there, my underground oasis was one of the most annoying, time comsuming and worthwhile builds.
