Hi,
Scarifying means to make a cut in a hard shelled seed.
Nature usually does this by the freezing and thawing action during the course of a winter. But people do it by carefully making a small nick in the hard shell of the seed. It doesn't have to be a large cut, just a nick with a knife or nail clippers will work.
