Test setup:
rpi_soil_test

Test script:

import time
import board, busio
from adafruit_seesaw.seesaw import Seesaw

i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA)

ss = Seesaw(i2c, addr=0x36)

start_time = time.time()
count = 0

print("Reading...")

while True:
    count += 1
    if ss.moisture_read() > 4095:
        break
    time.sleep(0.1)

print("DONE")
print("count = {}  time = {}".format(count, time.time()-start_time))
