Ky will pretty much grow in anything as long as you have a clean water source.
If you want to keep the moisture build up a thatch layer, it'll keep the water in and give it some nutrition as the bacteria breaks it down.
Bentonite clay will help retain moisture cheaply and stays in the soil profile so generally doesn't need topping up. You can buy it as kitty litter or in bulk bags from ag suppliers.
