<div dir=ltr>I haven't seen a mill that I could afford. Do you have any ideas on how I could build one for very little money. I'm in North west tennessee. The closest place with a mill (that I've found) is 2 hours away. I'm only growing 70 plants. <BR clear=none>Also my wife is getting a swarm of guinea fowl. Will they be a problem for my plants?</div>
