The mini seeder comprises an open receptacle which has a rim and a top surface provided with a seed discharge orifice. A substantially U-shaped partition around the orifice divides the top surface into a seed-transfer channel within the partition, and a seed-storage area which is externally of the partition. A discharge-and-guide tube extends downwardly from the orifice. A boss surrounds the lower end of the tube. A nearly semi-cylindrical tine outwardly-projects from the lower end of the boss.
