Juglone can indeed cause problems with many types of plants and the juglone
is not removed by composting. For a more in depth discussion, check out this

Hello, I just moved to a new place and discovered Black Walnut roots growing
under my future square foot garden. I thought I was safe having it situated
well away from it. I have heard the roots produce juglone, which can kill
off  certain plants. Are there plants that can tolerate this poison. Also,
can the  leaves and nuts from Black Walnuts be composted. Thanks in advance.
