Bill: Thanks for the reminder -- juglone. Found some other material from Purdue, and other university web sites that say that squash, melons, beets, carrots, corn, onions and parsnips are tolerant if you're 50' from the drip line.
Opening some new beds so have to decide if I want to take a chance. They just barely clear the 50'.
Thanks,
Elaine

Black Walnuts produce a phytotoxin, juglone, which will inhibit the growth of many species of plants. Most vegetables can be affected. The high-risk zone is anything within 1.5x the drip line. Some think its more because it depends on sensitivity/tolerance and movement of walnut debris.

Subject: [Market-farming] black walnuts trees
Folks: I remember that black walnut trees are not friendly to gardens, but can't remember particulars. Can anyone help? How far from the tree -- from the trunk? from the drip line?
The grass and flowers seem to grow well enough under and around it. Are there certain crops that won't tolerate the tree?
Many thanks for any help with this. Almost 80 today, for a change
