In this episode of Backyard Farmer, we explain: ✔ What juglone is and how it’s produced by black walnut trees ✔ Which plants are most sensitive to juglone (including tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant) ✔ How juglone moves through roots, leaves, and hulls — and why it can affect plants up to 60 feet away ✔ Why wet, heavy soils make juglone damage worse ✔ How to successfully garden near black walnuts (including the raised bed solution) 🌱 Gardening Tip If you must grow juglone-sensitive plants, raised beds with clean soil are your safest option. 📺 Watch More Gardening Advice 🔔Subscribe to Backyard Farmer for expert gardening tips: https://www.youtube.com/BackyardFarme... #BlackWalnut #Juglone #Allelopathy #GardenTips #BackyardFarmer #NebraskaGardening #TreeToxicity #PlantHealth
