The invention discloses a novel garlic seeder and relates to the technical field of agricultural machinery. The novel garlic seeder comprises a frame, a seed box, a seed taking device, a direction adjusting device, a seeding device, a transmission device, a ground wheel and a traction suspension. The seed taking device comprises a plurality of parallel seed taking grooves 8, seed taking chains (4) are arranged in the seed taking grooves 8, and a plurality of seed taking spoons 5 are arranged on the seed taking chains; the direction adjusting device comprises a direction adjusting box 46 positioned in the middle of a seed falling vertical groove 10, the direction adjusting box consists of two half box covers which are fastened through a hinge, a bottom cone of the right half box cover of the direction adjusting box is lost to form an opening 48, and the direction adjusting box is provided with an opening direction-adjusting seed-turning mechanism; and the seeding device consists of an upper opening seeding box 21 at the lower part of the seed falling vertical groove 10, a seeding box cover plate 22, a seeding box and seeding box cover plate vertical movement mechanism and a seeding box timely opening seeding mechanism. The novel garlic seeder has a seed bud direction adjusting function, and can ensure that the garlic seed bud upward rate is over 95 percent. The novel garlic seeder plants garlic seeds in a plurality of rows, has high mechanization level, high seeding efficiency and high quality, vertically plants garlic seeds into soil, ensures consistent seeding depth, meets the requirement of agriculture, and is suitable to be promoted.
