two years ago I left a really big pile of European walnut leaves in a corner of my yard now it has transformed into a very dark crumbly and rich looking soil that I want to use for sowing seeds in modules.

I have read a lot about juglone, but different sources say that it breaks down in compost. I sieved the soil because there were still a lot of walnuts and brenches, but also a ton of tiny roots everywhere, and some greens, like the leaf from the picture. Above the pile there is a young tree, and I m ashamed to say I have no clue what tree it is. If it were a young walnut, could this be a problem ?

Also, if i were to use this soil, should i combine it with something else to create more structure?
