how much are snakes and where can I find 'em? Are they easy to use?
Really easy to use, I use them all the time to do all the outside pipes at my house.
Just stick it in, switch it on... extend the snake... rinse and repeat.
A simple kitchen pipe should take no longer then 5 minutes.

I don't know where to find them or how much but I have seen a friend use one
they are generally not a tool the average person owns(plumbers use them so you COULD get a plumber to do it) I don't know if its best to buy a snake or get it done(u also have to consider the fact that the plumber will know better how to use it and not fuck things up worse then they already are as well) you may be able to find one cheap on ebay I dunno I haven't checked

If you've got fibrous plant shit to dispose of just toss it in the trash, man. That shit will bind up a garbage disposal really well.
I don't know if you're supposed to use drain cleaner on a garbage disposal, it has seals and moving parts that might not be too fond of caustic chemicals.
There should be a small hole in the bottom of it where you can fit in an allen wrench and turn the axle manually. Clean it out as best you can and try to turn that, if it isn't jammed you can probably just reset it and get it working.

how do I reset it? and I don't have an allen wrench so do I need to buy one?

You can get a drain snake at any hardware store. A small one will be fine for your sink. Although it might be a simple and less costly idea to just turn the water off and take the pipe apart under the sink and clear it out, unless the jam is actually in the blades of the sink blender.

to reset it there should be a button somewhere on it, and an allen wrench... yes, you'd have to buy a little box of them at a hardware store. They're not pricey, they're just little L-shaped bars of metal in a hex shape.
This is if the disposal is jammed and doesn't work, not if the sink is just clogged. If the disposal turns on and spins, then don't bother with that... just take it out and clean the pipe.
