Summoning falling grass in an area

I've recently made some "sculpture" in Minecraft. To make it look more natural, I've decided to cover it with grass. For this I intend to summon falling grass blocks with /summon FallingSand ~ ~ ~ {TileID:2,Time:1}.

The problem is that the /summon command only works at one coordinate; I want to summon these at each block in an area. Is this possible?

You could fill an area really high up, and then quickly set all fallingsand to grass

/fill ~ ~220 ~ ~25 ~220 ~25 minecraft:sand
/entitydata @e[type=FallingSand] {TileID:2}

This way you have no risk of changing parts of your sculpture if they're made out of sand.

How do you spawn a falling block?

If cheats are enabled, falling block entities can be spawned using the command /summon . By tweaking the BlockState NBT tag, it is possible to summon a falling block entity that normally does not fall as a block, such as dirt or stone, although it has the same behavior as a naturally spawned falling block.
