Scott,

Don't know what types of grasses  you're trying to grow, but I've never seen
a problem with grasses and juglone.  We have lots of black walnuts around
here, which produce more juglone than pecan, and grass seems to grow fine
underneath them (bluegrass, fescue, etc).  In some densely shaded walnut
patches, I've seen some spots where the grass not quite as thick, but I
think that's due to the dense shade, and all the water being sucked out of
the soil..
