Abstract

A handheld seed planting device including a rule-like seed spacing member with two or more dibbers and a depth marker for facilitating seed planting in terms of the spacing between neighboring seeds and/or their seed planting depth. Dibbers preferably double up as depth markers but a depth marker may alternatively be implemented as a simple depth gauge for clipping onto a seed spacing member.
