Do you put drip tape down first? or drip tape down on top of vines???Seems like it would be easier to put down first,so as to not brake leaves & such,Need some advice please.

I put it down first and use a valved coupling at each head so I can water the patch area as needed.

I use drip w/valves and install it before the plant starts vining.

I go under vines to seems safer, less likely for rot.
