So if you need a log, I got plenty! I'm also eager for my 2 dwarf blueberries, ginger root, and 2 black walnut trees that have been shipped to me finally to get here...have no idea where to plant the black walnuts though, because a book on companion planting I have(Carrots Love Tomatoes, by Louise Riotte) says there's a substance on their leaves called juglone that washes off them when it rains and prohibit growth of other greenage near them....anyone had any experience with that?

Similar to the way mother maples discourage kids from being too near. You are talking a long term time investment but growing stuff for the next generation is nobel. The largest we had was about 30 years old that my dad grew from seed. It was maybe 10 feet in diameter drip line when my brother took it down. The wood is valued highly and some folks use the fruit for dying cloth. I like black walnut brittle. Heard some folks run their cars over the seeds to crack them.
