As a joke my late sister in law gave me a set of minature garden tools from the dollar store. Small rake and spade, just perfect for a root rake and tamping down soil. She paid a $1.00. Have now seen them for 4.95 a set as official bonsai tools.

Bamboo skewers, from the supermarket, usually a dollar a pack are good for seperating roots. You can also ask for chop sticks, the next time you order Chinese.
