I have these working on the digial I/O. So a 1 or 0 depending upon water presence. I have not tried them in an analog fashion yet. But, I am not looking at soil moisture, but I am looking at basement moisture for a failed sump pump.

Ideally you would connect it to A0, but that's taken. The module you linked to has a digital output, but that only gives you a Boolean level indication. If that suffices, you can connect it to a free pin, otherwise you may need to ditch the LDR.
If you really need both, get a cheap PCF8591 ADC->I2C board
