Jack, another method used by some local flower farmers is to run a small 2" deep trench at the plant dripline for the entire length of the row after the first weeding. Then a granular fertilizer is applied in the trench, the drip tape is placed on top, and then it is buried. This method works well for short season crops and when labor is cheap.

Also, I sometimes just apply a layer of mulch to hold the tape in place.
