A new guide today in the Adafruit Learning System: The MonkMakes Plant Monitor and CircuitPython by Simon Monk

The MonkMakes Plant Monitor is a capacitative moisture meter that also measures temperature and relative humidity. Because it’s a capacitative moisture sensor, there is no electrical contact with the soil, so the probe doesn’t corrode in the way that resistive sensors do.

In this guide, you will learn how to use the Plant Monitor’s serial (UART) interface with CircuitPython. As an example, you’ll use the ten Neopixel LEDs on a Circuit Playground Express to indicate the moisture level.
