I like Barren Dirt, but I still have some problems with it.

Texture: The texture of Barren Dirt is the exact same as dirt. No difference what so ever. It's crafting recipe is two Dirt, and two Gravel. So shouldn't it look more like a cross between Dirt and Gravel rather than normal Dirt?

Seeds and Growing: In the mod you can instantly grow grass on dirt by right-clicking seeds on a dirt block. This also works on Barren Dirt, which with it's current texture, makes Barren dirt and Dirt Identical when placed down, unless you remember which one was which. But Grass won't grow naturally on Barren Dirt like normal Dirt, so why does grass not grow on Barren Dirt, but 'Seeded Grass' does?

Tilling: Barren Dirt can be easily be turned into normal Dirt by Tilling it with a hoe. But, how does this work? It's half Gravel for Iluvatar's Sake. There is enough Dirt in the minecraft world, so why do you need to turn Barren Dirt into normal Dirt?

So, in short I think Barren Dirt should get a new texture, unable to be tilled into normal dirt and live up to it's name 'Barren Dirt' and not be able to grow things.

To remain, Barren.
