How to install micro drip irrigation kit

Hi,
I am in process of installing  a micro drip irrigation system. It comes in kit form. It comes with 40m of tube plus 20 adjustable drippers and 15 atomizing nozzles. 

I am planning to install in a number of raised beds. Though kit comes with a nice diagram on how to put it together. It does not come with advice on where to site drippers or atomizing nozzles or how far apart to have them.

Any advice wellcome

    I tend to place them a couple of inches away from the stem of the plants.  I do that with both types.  I have actually put some drippers under bark mulch in raised beds as otherwise you are really only wetting the mulch.
