Bobberman, I strongly recommend you read the info at the links above. Everyone who raises tomatoes needs to know what can cause crops to fail.
Yes, any and all parts of walnut trees contain juglone. The fine roots the trees put out all underneath the drip line will saturate the soil with juglone. NEVER put any part of the trees that have juglone into your compost. Juglone DOES NOT break down in the heat of the composting process.
Leaves, nut shells, green outer shells, bark, walnut wood sawdust, root fibers, the soil under the walnut trees, and any moisture collected that has had contact with any of the above ALL WILL BE VERY BAD for your tomato patch.
