It's worth mentioning that the Arduino is connected to the RPi3 via the lower USB on the right stack.

Arduino Code

Arduino
Directly introduce code into an Arduino sketch then upload it to your board. Make sure the moisture sensor signal pin is connected to A0 of the Arduino.
int sensorPin = A0; 
int sensorValue;  
int limit = 300; 
String json ="";

float moisture_percent = 0;

void setup() {
 Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
 sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin); 
 sensorValue = map(sensorValue, 150, 700, 0, 100);
 moisture_percent = (1-(float)sensorValue/100);
 json = "{\"moisture\":\""+String(moisture_percent)+"\"}";
 Serial.println(json);
 delay(1000); 
}
