That means no vegetable garden and most flowering plants. If you want
Black Walnut, fine, but don't expect anything else to grow around it. Look
up: juglone orhttp://ohioline.osu.edu/hyg-fact/1000/1148.html



I lived in a house that had one Black Walnut and a couple of English
Walnut trees. You're right - absolutely nothing would grow under the
Black Walnut. We ended up pouring a nice patio around it. The
English Walnuts weren't much better, but I did manage to have a nice
garden of Calla Lilies under one of them. I was certain to try to
keep any falling leaves from the tree, gathered and raked up however!
