I’ve weeded and amended the soil in my garden. Now I want to put drip irrigation in, landscape fabric, and microbark. I want to put plants in at a later date. If the irrigation tubing (not the emitter hoses) is under the fabric there’s the advantage of them being out of sight but the disadvantages of not knowing where they are when you walk in the garden and not being able to get to parts that may be leaking. Thanks!

The tubing should be under the ground. If it is above it has a better chance of getting broken than below. The chance that anything happens to it under ground are slim. If you are worried about getting to it, or finding the tubing later. Make a map on paper.

Doesn’t really matter. The drip hose will do it’s job either way.

You seem to have answered your own question. The fabric should be under the pipes as much as possible, because you might very well need to get to the pipes (and you certainly need to see where they are), whereas you are not going to need to get to the fabric again.

Above the weed block if something happens you have to cut the weedblock up to try to find the leak. If you have bark or rock its worse.

Do yourself a favor and save money — use newspaper instead of fabric. Paper is much more effective, fabric will still allow weeds to grow through the material making them impossible to remove (except chemically) and planting (cutting x’s, digging under fabric) is a buggar.
Agree, you have answered your own question.
