Tried this and somehow at some point it turned into a worm city and now I having trouble keeping up with the demand of food for the critters.

The scraps from a soup and vegetables dish day are gone over the course of one night.

And paper and cardboard can go into the pile?

If you are talking about earthworm then this is excellent news for you, worms are usually s very good indicator of soil fertility.

Yes. My composter is full of red groundworms. Good to know.

If you have a course grid at a elevated bottom of your bin you can take the earth from the bottom, the worms will stay at the top where you fill it. Worms will take care of paper over time but they prefer plant matter.
