An RPI to measure moisture seems complete overkill. There'sESP Home for small sensors https://www.instructables.com/Building-a-Wireless-Soil-Moisture-Sensor-With-ESPH/
Pi picos are pretty good for iot projects like that. ESP are more power efficient, but a pi can be more self sufficient. I think it depends on the project.
The linked project recommended a Pi3 though.
Ah, that's just overkill.
