Long name, short step.
In practise, just put the tubes where you are going to put them to water your plants
I used some food containers that mum wanted me to stare my components in >=]
I think the bottom inch or two of a milk bottle *in Britain, we have plastic bottles, im not sure about you americans =P* would be a good idea as something easily recyclable and widely available and can hold your soil and plant =]

I drilled a hole in the side of the food containers, pushed the tube through, then cut triangles into the tubing and then put soil over them. This attempts to make sure the water is in a fairly even distribution.
