As usual, the walnut has shed it's leaves into a HUGE pile all over the

The boss of the house has said that they will not compost quickly, maybe
take several years, so should I try to compost them or just either throw
them out or put them on the bonfire?


One of the two latter suggestions and don't breathe the smoke.
Juglone isn't all that bad for humans but plants really don't like it.

Mine just disappear over the course of Winter where they fall. I don't
remember seeing any walnut leaves laying around from previous years.
