4seasons is on a distinguished road
every year our supplier warns everyone to not let the mulch touch the leaves or wait to plant herbacious plants after the mulch cools down. When we pick it up it's steaming and feels like its 120 degrees or more. Just be careful, dump away from the plants and rake to them. any that gets on the leaves wipe it off.
as to the kid getting sick probally just heat exhaustion(sp?)
