once cut down, how long are Black Walnut roots toxic?
Comments (13)Studies also showed an interesting correlation between good drainage and lesser concentrations of juglone in the soil.

I'd be interested to hear from others too which ones are truly to be omitted from the garden with young kids....See MoreCan I still cure onions if necks and roots cut when harvested?
Comments (1)You can still store them and you may get some marginal "curing/drying" but their storage life has been greatly shortened. Personally, if talking a large number of them, I'd chop and dehydrate or freeze them. Much longer storage life. Dave...See Morelindac
