Hello and thanks for the ideas!
we've actually found a machine here in the bazaar which is an agricultural
grinder for wheat and corn and things, that has been adapted, ie the inside
part has been changed to stronger metal, so it can even grind quartz! so
that will let us grind all sorts of stuff. the other option was getting a
ballmill imported from pakistan, but this seems like a cheaper and better
option.
i'll let you know how we get on with it...
thanks again everyone for all the input!
all the best from a sunny Kabul, ( i think spring is finally here!)
