so what about, i take the tncs supply from the garage (2.5mm 3 core armour). This would supply earth to all of the circuits only. And then seperatley i connect a 10mm earth onto the greenhouse frame and then into a earth rod?
 
No good I'm afraid.
By earthing the frame with a local rod you ensure it is an extraneous conductive part and so needs connection back to main earth terminal. Or TT'ing. See @davesparks post #19 :) .
 
basically im trying to get out of digging a trench back to the house (many reasons).

But my other problem is that inexperienced with "tt ing" something.
So im just supposed to run a live neutral from the garage (unearthed) to the greenhouse, then stick a 30ma board/earth rod.

or do i earth the armour at the garage side but leave the greenhouse side unconnected to its respective earth terminal.
