Or even stepping stones that aren't set into the ground
I have used short pieces of boards left over pieces of work very well. I was lucky to have several pieces left from porch project. Just space about the distance of your steps. They can be moved without mmuch trouble. Then at end of garden season, pick up for next year.
I use 12" square concrete stepping stones from any home improvement store. They will not blow away, but still easy enough for me to pick up and move when needed.
You could use scrap wood or lumber that could be lifted and moved at the end of the season.
Redwood chips? Won’t blow away and will degrade naturally.
I am currently enrolled in a master gardeners class currently, and the soil experts have said ( yesterdays lecture) its bad for soil health “to till“ too much as you are destroying soil structure. Im not sure this consideration pertains to your situation or more massive farming and garden situations.
Wow, that is pretty windy. Sorry I wasn't able to help!! Where are you located? We get pretty windy, sometimes, but for the most part we have a good amount of windbreaks around us. I do not envy the fight you have!
I would put down the garden cloth to hold back the weeds and place a crushed gravel on top.
